Re: Are you getting a flu shot this year
I would get one like from a neighborhood pharmacist. It seems pre 1970s, corner pharmacists knew their customers, from members and their ailments and usually offered 2 remedies
1st was natural and the 2nd was a pill/shot.
But since pharmacists have been turned into business chains- some young kid gives U the prescription and the head pharmacist may talk to you if it is some heavy drugs being administered. And doctors for the most part are never involved in giving shots.
Walgreens or CVC pharmacist asks questions, that back in the day, corner-neighborhood pharmacist knew by dealing with the family for years. In Milwaukee it was a guy named Dr. Carter aka Carter Pharmacy -

Here is how the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel identified him when asking his take on the pandemic
Beloved Milwaukee pharmacist Dr. Lester Carter shares advice for returning to public spaces
Look at how upright in the video this 88 year old man still is! Walks pretty darn good too! To this day he offers immune-remedies, not magical cures. When giving flu shots or pills he gives his staff knowledge on what pills or shots replaces- that was once used.
His position- is wearing a mask is ok, but rather than preference on this thing called social distancing- why not STRESS on boosting the IMMUNE SYSTEM!!
In other words we can social distanced from here until 2030...wear masks and eye goggles, that shit aint gonna eliminate what a man who has fought in Korean & Vietnam wars says he has never seen a disease or virus have the impact on people the way this covid -19 has.
He gives it take on George Floyd's death being used by bad people to tear up businesses- not related to this topic- but the video in that links offers that.
I'd wager in every major city there is still a Dr. Carter. Be it in an all white, or Hispanic community- their customers I'd wager are the least likely to succumb to covid deaths, flu deaths because they have their priorities str8!
My point is- when he says he is now assisting some customers who have brought their kids aka (3rd generational) he knows about them. Knows what ails them, which family members have bad reactions from drugs.
That's who is supposed to administer our pills, our shots.
A Pharmacist that can say- You want condoms? I remember when you were a baby and your mom bought talcum powder for your bottom! That's the one who requests a flu shot? Then get one. His/Hers!!
